REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nintendo invites fans in the Los Angeles area to attend and observe the
first-ever public tournament of its new Super Smash Bros. for Wii
U. On Tuesday, June 10, Nintendo will welcome 16 previously selected
highly skilled Super Smash Bros. players to NOKIA Theatre L.A.
LIVE in Los Angeles to celebrate Super Smash Bros. fan culture
and find out who will emerge victorious on the big stage. The Super
Smash Bros. Invitational will entertain thousands of spectators
in person, and will also be live-streamed on both Twitch’s
E3 channel and Nintendo’s
Twitch channel to let countless others around the world be among the
first to see the new game in action.

As a special treat for the biggest fans, attendees who dress up as their
favorite Super Smash Bros. characters may be selected for
priority seating right in front of the stage on which the tournament
will occur. The event will be photographed and filmed, so the best
costumes might appear on Twitch or Nintendo’s YouTube channel, where the
event can also be viewed.

Here are the details for Tuesday, June 10:

9:30 a.m.:

Wristband distribution begins at NOKIA Plaza at L.A. LIVE, 777 Chick
